** And then, you've got [[Mary Sue]]s with names like "Chihuatlan Razortalon." Sure, "Razortalon" fits the model...but "Chihuatlan" [[Narm|invokes small yappy lapdogs]] rather than the exoticism for which the author was no doubt shooting.
* In ''[[The Mad Scientist Wars]]'' we have the Tinker family, who '''all''' have this. For instance Andrew Omega-Particle prince Risk Tinker, or his son Frederic Zeta Risk Raize Tinker. This goes back pretty far- for instance, Grandpa '''Florian Blitz Viktor'''.
* A character in numerous fanfics on the Phineas and Ferb Fanon Wiki is named Goldfish Darkskull. I added it here because there was a comment on his article's talk page that said "I think Goldfish Darkskull is an Awesome McCoolname. See TV Tropes"
* All the ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' characters, as noted above, have ridiculously cool names. In the [[Elemental Chess Trilogy]] fanfic series, Riza Hawkeye gets an extra one. After she marries Roy Mustang, the men of their unit feel awkward calling her ''Hawkeye'', but they also can't call her ''Mustang'', so they refer to her by the affectionate nickname "Ladyhawk."
